Although Udinese, where only David Pejičić played, was already leading 2:0, Köln concluded their preparations for the new season in a victorious manner. In the upcoming season, the Billy Goats will compete in the 2. Bundesliga, where it is evident that Jaka Čuber Potočnik will also assist them. He was in the squad for the final preparation match, which shows that the new coach, Gerhard Struber, clearly counts on him.
The 19-year-old Jaka Čuber Potočnik started the match, which Köln won 3:2 after a remarkable comeback, on the bench and entered the pitch in the 88th minute, spending a little under 10 minutes on the field including injury time.
Köln will play the first competitive match of the new season on Friday, when they will host Hamburg at their stadium, which will also host the Euro 2024 matches, including those of the Slovenian national team. Jaka Čuber Potočnik had already started playing for Köln’s reserve team in the 4th German league at the end of last season, and well-informed sources say that the young player will be waiting for his chance in the first team of his German club in the new competitive year.
